Breeze

Powerful and quick, this stunning racehorse wearing white and blue colors gallops down the track, flashing hooves sounding like drumbeats in the loose earth.

His jockey nearly stands in the stirrups, crouched forward over his horse’s neck as he moves his legs and arms in time to the hoofbeats, carefully managing his horse’s speed in this early morning workout.
